Hope it's better than their other relatively new addition: Lousy Hot Dogs!
Not sure where you're at in the great Mid-west, but in places like Chicago they wasted their time rolling out their B.S. dogs.I don't do Fast Food, but last weekend on the road home from grocery shopping I stopped at a Burger King because I saw they had a new dish...Hot Dogs.
I thought, ok I haven't had an hot dog in a while so I'll try it.
The pictures looked okay so I went all in... Got myself one meal (hot dog/drink/fries) and one additional hot dog. I told them just mustard and heavy on the onions.
Of course when I got them they were as bad as I should have expected. The fries were awful, the hotdogs were burnt where the "grill lines" were and otherwise uncooked, and they put like 5 pieces of diced onion on each hot dog. I took one bite, then threw the whole mess away.
Waste of time and money and reaffirmed my distaste for fast food places. They places are trying to serve too many things and doing badly at all of them, instead of focusing on one good thing (burgers and fries) and doing well at it.

Very good dogs at reasonable prices are a dime-a-dozen!
And lets not forget beefs, polish, and gyros!Imagine going to BK of all places for a hot dog in Chicago the home of the greatest dogs in the world. I move from there in 1979 and miss the dogs and pizzas.
BK needs to focus on getting their quality back before they introduce new products. A new product is a waste fo time if it's just going to be crap.Hope it's better than their other relatively new addition: Lousy Hot Dogs!
There is a world beyond Chicago, ya know.And lets not forget beefs, polish, and gyros!
There was an article away's back in the Sunday Trib that claimed when fast food joints in other places around the country, like Arizona or Florida, put "Chicago" in their signage it increases traffic by 30% with no other changes!
That was 20 years ago, but I wouldn't doubt it.
Also, a buddy of mine from the East Coast moved from Jersey to Florida and was raving about this beef stand that opened by him. It was run by a retired Streets & San guy who recreated a Chicago stand using all the original products from Chicago - Scala's beef, Vienna dogs, Mary-Ann poppy seed buns, etc, etc. He even had instructions on his signs on how to order correctly: "Sweet", "Hot", "Wet", "Through the Garden", "Maxwell" etc! My buddy said that when he went three weeks after they opened, the lines were out the door with one-hour-plus waits! And maybe two years later, he told me the place was still packed and going strong.
So yeah - I think when it comes to locally originated ethnic-American type fast food (pizza/beef/dogs/gyros), Chicago's got a good thing going - and for long enough and at large enough scale to define regional specialties.

This I will not deny.There is a world beyond Chicago, ya know.
Crazy talk, I know.
I've tried their dogs a couple times. Eh, yeah, not very good, but they're easy to eat while driving and are cheap.
lol, i had to look it up :

Anybody tried it yet - if so, what did you think of it?
PS: It's available at Burger King, if you didn't know
And I bet it doesn't even look that good in real life.lol, i had to look it up :
